$VPCO Continues to Successfully Execute National Retail Expansion Program

Vapor Corp. (NASDAQ CM: VPCO, VPCOU) (the “Company”), a leading U.S.-based distributor and retailer of vaporizers, e-liquids, e-cigarettes and e-hookahs, announced today the successful acquisition of Vulcan Vape, an established three-store retail vape chain with locations in Birmingham, Al., Atlanta, Ga., and Nashville, Tenn. This acquisition marks Vapor Corp.’s second acquisition outside of Florida and brings the total number of Company-owned locations to 21. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

These latest acquisitions are central to Vapor Corp.’s aggressive expansion efforts to develop a national footprint throughout the United States. As a leading vaporizer / e-cigarette company, and currently the only pure-play company in the $3.5 billion vaping industry that’s listed on a major stock exchange, Vapor Corp. plans to grow the number of Company-owned retail stores to over 30 locations by the end of the 2015. The Vulcan Vape stores opened in Birmingham in May 2011, Atlanta in September 2013, and Nashville in April 2013.

“The acquisition of the Vulcan Vape store in Atlanta brings Vapor Corp.’s presence to four stores in that city, and has quickly made us one of the more sizeable vape store operators in that important region,” said Jeff Holman, Vapor Corp.’s CEO. “The newly acquired Vulcan locations mark our first foray into new territory outside of Florida and Georgia, and with our successful closing, we plan to target additional Southeast brick and mortar businesses within Alabama and Tennessee to take advantage of economies of scale.”

Mr. Holman added, “The Atlanta store is within 20 miles of our existing stores in the area, and we will continue to expand our footprint throughout Georgia, while continuing to forge relationships with the growing local vaping community. Vapor Corp. expects an immediate ROI from these new acquisitions as we continue to establish ourselves as the go-to source for the latest, most innovative vaping products available, for both experienced and novice vaping fans across the country. Capitalizing on our strong success to date, we look forward to advancing our national retail roll-up plan through the end of the year and into 2016.”
